NEWARK, N.J. -- Two players with close ties to New Jersey hockey were looking to make an impression on the opening day of New Jersey Devils development camp at AmeriHealth Pavilion on Monday.
Goaltender Anthony Brodeur, the son of former Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur, and forward Matthew Gaudreau, the brother of Carneys Point, N.J, native and Calgary Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau, each hope to make the most of a big opportunity.
Gaudreau said he offers something his big brother doesn't.
"I don't like to say he's not a defensive guy, but I feel like in the defensive zone, I'm much stronger and can anticipate where the play is going," Gaudreau said.
